Mary as Ever-Virgin

[Standing Up]

It's my position all the time.

It is a word that means brother. It is a word that has other meanings.

There's an Epistle of John's saying something along the lines of

no greater love have a man than he that lays down his life for his brother

The same word is used.

If one takes it as a literal, blood-brother then I'm off the hook as I have none.

It would seem against Christ's command to love one's neighbours (and here again it's not literally the folks next door).


It's a universal love.

"Brother" as a blood brother is too restrictive.

Too funny. No one has been arguing what you're now conceding.

Thats why I posted the defintion line by line and went through them and you snipped the postion of my post and agreed it had to do with context. And I was examining the word adelphos in the context of Jesus brothers but nothing further was said.
